The 86th Academy Awards will take place Sunday, March 2nd. I love gathering together to watch the winners of the night. Here are some easy tips to throw a winning party, however big or small.

1. A Glamorous Invite and Ticket to the party. Be sure to send out invites for your soiree. Tiny Prints has the perfect invite for the occasion, making that part easy for me.

2. The Party Central Popcorn Station. Popcorn for the evening is a must. It’s fun to make a popcorn station on your counter with a large bowl of popped popcorn. Display smaller bowls for each guest to have their own. Also, put out toppings for the popcorn including salt, sugar, cinnamon, etc.

3. Cast your Vote. Give each guest a ballot (or notepad paper) to cast their vote for the winners. The guest who comes up with the most correct picks of the night will win a prize! (or what’s left of the popcorn!)

Most of all, enjoy the evening with your friends and family. It’s a fun night to celebrate.
